I am having surgery tomorrow, but will try to adjudicate Friday. If not then Monday (Perhaps having Sir Gatlin (C4 driver) type for me

Thank you all for the well wishes. Surgery went well, but a good deal of pain in recovery now.

Jim O makes a major move!

Cody continues the lack of wear blues with a 120 in the 120sTim is forced to the inside with a 1W cost on the 1oos at 120mph, taking the lead!Will K takes the inside of the corner at 100Fabio takes the middle lane at 120 and sits next to Will KTuryko cautiously slows to 100 and sits backJim orders 140 and pushes his way through the wall created by Will and Fabio with a forced pass. His roll of 4 gets him safely through!Simone orders 140, expecting an opening and finding none. His late brake w/ 2S was successful with a 5.Marshall orders 100 and finds no room also. His braking roll of 4 is successful. Mike P takes the corner at 120 and makes contact with the peletonJeff H, Chris and Doug all order 160

Jim O cruises the Six Freres at 100 and denies a slip to Will KWill K wants the slip at 120 but is refused. Fabio moves up to 4th place with 140 and the spending of a wear!Simone takes initiative with a 120, gets the slip, and sits behind Fabio.Turyko gets to the end of Freres with a 100Marshall tries to get to the end of the corner with his 120, but cannot because of Turyko's 100mph.

Mike wants to make an amazing move! He orders 140 and wants to push through. Alas, there is no room, and he late brakes to 120. His brakes sizzle and crack the pad (12 rolled!) on his front right wheel! This costs him a wear for the fail, and a wear for the speed in the corner!

Jeff H orders 140 for a wear, and Chris follows dutifully behind.Doug preps for the corner at 140mph

Please check these. I am still recovering, but moments of fog can creep in. Turn 35 due Wednesday 30AUG17 at 4PM Pacific, unless all are received earlier.

Tim B spends 2 wear on the Noveau Monde and prepared to jump on the gas pedal!Cody does not have any wear, and takes the outside at 60Jim and Fabio both cruise the straightaway at 100Will K takes to straight at 120 to make it 3-wide entering Monde!Simone knows there will be no room, and reins in his engine at 100Turyko, Marshall and Mike P all take their cars into the pack at 120Jeff H takes the 100s at Six Freres, and Chris follows behind via the 120s to sit on Jeff's rear wingDoug meanders the D938 curve at 120

Turn 36 due 1SEP17 (my 33rd wedding anniversary!) at 4PM Pacific or earlier if all orders are in.
